Message from the Publisher

Please take a moment to read the text to the left about how we DO NOT earn
revenue. Not a week goes by without a company asking how much it costs to be
featured by the Nilson Report. The answer to that question hasn’t changed in 50
years—“nothing.” As a reader who expects credible, unbiased reporting, you can
trust that this policy will continue to set us apart.
